Scientific paper

We are proposing coordinated Chandra and RXTE observations of the central region of M82 in order to explore in more detail the timing and spectral properties of the ULX QPO source which was recently found there. Some of the goals for the Chandra component of this campaign include; 1) To unambiguously identify the QPO source. 2) To confirm that the QPO and Fe lines found in XMM data are associated with the same object. 3) To nail down the soft continuum spectrum and hence obtain solid measurements of the line parameters and shape, and to accurately measure the disk blackbody temperature and the broad band source luminosity. 4) To explore the energy dependence of the QPO amplitude. We can do all this with a 100 ksec ACIS-S3 observation.
